From Adagio Teas

Black tea from Ceylon, decaffeinated using a superior CO-2 process. The latter is all natural and gentle, allowing tea leaves retain their delicate shape and flavor. Flavored with summer strawberries. Makes a tasty cup of tea, both hot and iced.

18 Tasting Notes

Inspired by the “where is everyone” discussion post, I made a glass of this iced. It’s really good that way! I sweetened it, southern style, so it reminded me a bit of strawberry candy. I also had never really thought of making iced tea by the glass (we do it by the pitcher in my house), so I’m glad the post made me consider that. Now I’ll try a bunch of iced teas in the near future!!

I had this tea last night. I can really see the progression in my tastes as I could definitely taste something off in this tea. There are only a few decaf blacks that taste good to me, now. I am purging several from my cupboard. If it is still in my cupboard, it is not a bad choice in my book.

I had forgotten that this was in the cabinet!!! I needed something to warm me up, and this is doing the trick. (I know it’s not as cold here in Florida as it is in some other places, but I am not used to this weather!)

so i had to try decaf and i wanted one that i had the normal version for and my sister got me this for Christmas :)

the color brewed up a bit different but not too much. its very good i can almost not tell the difference :) it isnt as sweet as the normal strawberry black i would consider buying this in a larger container!

Preparation

A decaf version of one of my favorite Adagio teas? Yes, please. I didn’t notice any significant difference between the pot I made this evening (in the TriniTEA, which I’ve just recently cleaned up and put out for use now that I’ve replaced the broken warming pot… yay!) and every cup I’ve made of the non-decaf version.

This is a GREAT fruit tea. It smells like real strawberries, tastes like a delicious tea with just the right amount of strawberry goodness and zero acidity. Don’t steep it too long or you’ll lose that perfect strawberry flavor (I think I’ll actually do 3 minutes next time… tonight pot was flirting with a tiny edge of bitterness and I like it light), and this is also a great tea to put over ice because of its clean Ceylon base. This is a tea that I recommend often and also give as a gift. :)

Preparation

In my own experience, fruit teas are hit or miss. Some are great, some are horribly artificial. This tea happens to fall into the ‘amazingly great’ category.

Both the smell and the taste reminds me of strawberry candy, though neither are overpowering to the senses. Despite it being decaf, there is nothing off about the taste and no bitter aftertaste, as long as you don’t steep it too long.

When I first tried this tea, I loved it so much that I had to make another cup right away. It’s just a very good tea, and doesn’t even need sugar or milk to make it better. It’s great just as it is.

Even if you’re on the fence about fruit teas or worry that it’ll taste artificial, give this one a try.

I didn’t think I liked fruity teas (with the exception of lemon and honey during a cold) but this tea has converted me. It smells strong, like strawberry candy. So I expected an equally artificial taste. Instead, it tastes like a fresh strawberry. This tea is divine. The black tea base isn’t anything special, in fact, it’s kind of twiggy. But I’ve been looking for a decaffeinated tea that tastes good and this is it. It tastes nice plain, but adding milk and a little bit of sugar sends it into an over the top heavenly crazy place. I’ll be going back for this one again and again. I made a huge Adagio order and this is the only tea that I keep repeating.
